CUVS’ 2015 Courageous Companions Event Portraits by Boprey Photography

On March 21st, Cornell University Veterinary Specialists (CUVS) honored the lives of some of our most "courageous companions". At this very special reunion, our doctors and staff gathered to honor these remarkable animals and their bravery, and demonstrate our appreciation for them and their human families. CUVS also offered each family the opportunity to sit for a professional photographer as a tribute to their beloved companions. We wanted to share these beautiful photos with all our readers, along with a few of their stories.

These pets, along with their supportive and loving families, remind us why we do what we do, and they will always hold a special place in our hearts.

CUVS' Patient of the Month

Cody Stix

Cody visited CUVS for surgery to repair a broken leg, but it was cataract surgery to treat his sudden blindness that really gave him a second lease on life. Cody's mother Louise was kind enough to share his story with us.
